✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Nearly two‐thirds of corporate pension plan assets were invested in the stock market when stocks plunged recently. That caused the average S&P 500 company pension plan—which was 128 percent funded—to be only 81 percent funded by the end of 2003. Surprisingly, many executives underestimate the dangers. The authors discuss the magnitude of the problem and offer a sensible action plan. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
